Default Torture

I watched Pant Suit Hillary this morning with her eyes all bugged out and she was spitting and screaming about her f-cking health care ***** and then I thought about Muslims.

My Thoughts:
Put a Naked Muslim Terrorist in a broom closet with a speaker up in each corner then get a recording of Fat Ass Hillary giving a speech on Health Care, turn up the volume, play it over and over and lock the door, within an hour the Muslim will go insane and try to behead himself he will also tell you where all the WMD's are hidden.

A judge once ordered a guy to watch every film that Whoppi Goldberg ever made as punishment, I believe he got it overturned under as "cruel and unusual".

He's probably still afraid to go out at night.

here's a relevant question amid a love fest:

is waterboarding torture?

let's see if any of our Con men are braver than their hero in office, or his mouthpiece choice for Attorney General, and actually answer the question:

As long as it doesn't kill anybody or do permanent damage, and the waterboardee spills the beans on what he/she knows -- thus saving lives -- I see no harm in it. Who would??

you weren't asked if you 'see any harm in it'... you were asked if it meets the definition of torture... however, i'll assume you don't believe it's torture... anyone else?

Then why don't you give us your definition of "torture". The word means different things to different people. Going to work is "torture" for some people, but for others it's liberation and joy. Wide range of opinion on the subject.

very well... i'll merely turn to the law for definition... unlike you...
http://hrw.org/english/docs/2004/05/24/usint8614.htm
U.S. Law

The United States has incorporated international prohibitions against torture and mistreatment of persons in custody into its domestic law. The United States has reported to the Committee Against Torture that: “Every act of torture within the meaning of the Convention is illegal under existing federal and state law, and any individual who commits such an act is subject to penal sanctions as specified in criminal statutes. Such prosecutions do in fact occur in appropriate circumstances. Torture cannot be justified by exceptional circumstances, nor can it be excused on the basis of an order from a superior officer. “

Military personnel who mistreat prisoners can be prosecuted by a court-martial under various provisions of the Uniform Code of Military Justice (UCMJ, arts. 77-134).

The War Crimes Act of 1996 (18 U.S.C. § 2441) makes it a criminal offense for U.S. military personnel and U.S. nationals to commit war crimes as specified in the 1949 Geneva Conventions. War crimes under the act include grave breaches of the Geneva Conventions. It also includes violations of common Article 3 to the Geneva Conventions, which prohibits “violence to life and person, in particular murder of all kinds, mutilation, cruel treatment and torture; …outrages upon personal dignity, in particular humiliating and degrading treatment.

A federal anti-torture statute (18 U.S.C. § 2340A), enacted in 1994, provides for the prosecution of a U.S. national or anyone present in the United States who, while outside the U.S., commits or attempts to commit torture. Torture is defined as an “act committed by a person acting under the color of law specifically intended to inflict severe physical or mental pain or suffering (other than pain or suffering incidental to lawful sanctions) upon another person within his custody or physical control.” A person found guilty under the act can be incarcerated for up to 20 years or receive the death penalty if the torture results in the victim’s death.

Military contractors working for the Department of Defense might also be prosecuted under the Military Extraterritorial Jurisdiction Act of 2000 (Public Law 106-778), known as MEJA. MEJA permits the prosecution in federal court of U.S. civilians who, while employed by or accompanying U.S. forces abroad, commit certain crimes. Generally, the crimes covered are any federal criminal offense punishable by imprisonment for more than one year. The MEJA remains untested because the Defense Department has yet to issue necessary implementing regulations required by the law.
